Furlough Delivery Notices

Brothers and Sisters, 

The company approached me about using UPS instead of the USPS to deliver Reduction in Force notices. The reason for the change from what they've used in the past is that right now the USPS is having difficulty delivering mail in a timely fashion. 

Reading Article 6 C., it requires "Certified Mail, (Return Receipt Requested)..." for notification. After discussing this provision with IBT Legal, it was determined that UPS delivery meets this standard. Since there is no violation of the provision, the company's request was granted, and RIF notices will be sent via UPS.

 

In Solidarity,
